Google Stadia, in case you don’t remember already, was thus far available only on a handful of Pixel phones, although, it can be made to work on most rooted Android devices by changing the phone’s build prop to trick Stadia’s device-check mechanism. If Google Stadia is supported in your region and if you’re interested in running Stadia on your non-Pixel smartphone, you can check out our detailed guide on the subject.
Launched last November with just 12 games on board, Google Stadia increased to 22 titles the following week, with support for a whole host of popular titles, including Final Fantasy XV, Metro Exodus, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Football Manager 2020 and more. The service costs $9.99 per month, but the company plans to offer a free tier before the end of this year.
